so there's lots of flexibility: any one SoC needs to comply with the absolute bare minimum, so that if people *really want* to pay only $11 for a Card they can, and if they want better they can pay $150 for an RK3288 with 4GB RAM and 32GB ultra-fast eMMC.
What assurance can we give the technically uninterested end user that the $11 card that works with their $30 toaster will not blow up their $1000 TV when their 6 year old swaps the cards ? I don't care if it does not work in the TV, but the consumer will be upset if it draws too much power (or something) and damages the TV.
My question is one about branding, or regulation of the standard, to stop ''cheap chinese cloners'' from wrecking the public perception of EOMA68.
